From Trikala's Central Square

As you are standing on the Central Square of Trikala you can see a fountain with a little statue of a peeing boy in the middle of the square. Pass by the fountain heading North (NOT towards the river). Now you see in front of you a big street named “Kondili Str.”(ΚΟΝΔΥΛΗ) and a big corner building of the “National Bank of Greece” on your left hand. Pass by it and just go straight ahead, walking on the wide pavement of Kondili Street. At the fifth (5th) intersection, just after the computer store “Edit PC”, turn left on”Papagou Street” (ΠΑΠΑΓΟΥ). Walk another 50 meters and Hostel Meteora, with a light sign and a big column outside, is just in front of you. Welcome!

Directions from the train station

As you exit the train station you can see a big street in front of you. This is “Asklipiou Street”(ΑΣΚΛΗΠΙΟΥ). Go straight ahead, following this street until its end. This street becomes a pedestrian street somewhere in the middle and you pass by the cafe spot of the city. At the end of Asklipiou Street you cross the Central Bridge and you are on the Central Square of Trikala. You can follow now the directions from the Central Square above.

Directions from the bus station

There is a bus from the Central Bus Station to the Central Square every 30 minutes. It costs 0,60 euro. When you arrive at the Central Square follow the directions from above. Alternatively you can take a taxi that costs 5 euro.

Fantastic location!

“This is the best hostel we ever stayed at! Right in the center of town. Lots of great information of which monasteries to go to and where to eat! Beds were very clean and also had great kitchen and bar!”

Great Budget Base For Meteora

“Although I didn't realize this was in Trikala and not Kalambaka, this was a great friendly hostel to stay and plan a day trip to Meteora. (Buses run constantly to and from the city center.) The hostel is run by Dimitri (owner) and a team of casual employees. There are plenty of musical instruments and books in the lounge to keep you occupied in the evening and the city center is only a 10min walk away. Would definitely stay in Trikala again!”

Cosy Hostel In A Great Location

“The location of the hostel is perfect, there are buses to Meteora every hour so it’s a great place to stay if you want to visit the Monastries. Trikala itself is a nice, charming town with a good vibe. Hostel is in a strict city centre, few minutes walk from the main square, the bus stop and the area full of cafes, pubs and restaurants. The dorm I was staying in was clean and cosy with ensuite bathroom. There is a hanging out area with a bar, tv and many instruments around. You can buy amazing homemade drinks at reasonable prices. The host and staff were very welcoming and helpful. I can highly recommend this place!”
